it seems like everybody's in love with your new hasselblad photos.. but to me it seems like you've lost that magic that was overwhelming your early photographs. here we have a set of well done (i mean technique) photographs of a girl whose face shows no emotion at all (her face is absolutely the same on every photo). she is so empty that it becomes annoying to look at her. and despite your nearly astonishing technique somehow you've managed to look even more amateurish than you ever did (even when you were taking polaroids of mailboxes you were looking like a pro). i really don't like this tendency. you have always been one of my main inspirations and it really makes me feel sad to look at your latest photographs. it just had to be voiced. sorry, if it is not what you wanted to hear.
it's not about the camera for me at all. i love the tones, the light, and the feeling these evoke for me. i think the empty expression works in many of the images, though it does get a little repetitive.
my mother would worry (like she does of many of my self-portraits) that you cut the heads off so often, but in many it works :o)
The first and second one's are gorgeous. Love them. I think the blank expression can be pulled off in these photographs. I usually hate it when models give nothing...no expression...but I'm not too fussed with these. I think it works still.
I like the dullness of her stare. She's geisha-like. It's awesome.
